I am being considered as a finalist candidate for a position, and the H.R. department asked me for an official transcript, references, and submission to a criminal check. I submitted all requested documents last Tuesday.

How much time does it to complete a background check? Should I followup with them this week? Does the fact that background check is requested upon me a good thing? What is the purpose of the check and what do they want to know about me?

Thank you for answering my question.

I just got a fulltime job at Disneyland. I completed paper work and got a hiring package. For two weeks ago, I signed the form which was about consumer report. Now, they asked me where I lived for past 7 years for background check.
Why do they conduct a background check after they offer a job?
Or does it mean that I passed the background check so I got a job?

An actual background check takes 3-5 days, correct? Well, do they check credit?
I may have a job at a hospital, it does not deal with money whatsoever. I don’t have the greatest credit because I’ve worked at a low paying job for a while and I am trying to get a better job..I’m responsible with paying some of my bills just I fell behind on some credit cards..
This job is at a hospital, and is it right that an actual background check takes 3-5 days?

I am a recent college graduate with no criminal record, but I am worried something negative is coming up on my background check that is steering employers away from me. I may just be paranoid but I was wondering if there was a way for me to find out what is on my background check or just figure out what it may be that is causing a negative check.

Godfather76 asked:


I am waiting on a background check to come back, and have learned that the Lowes uses Choicepoint for its pre-employment screening. They supposedly started the process the Friday before last. Am I lost in limbo here??? From everything I’ve read, they should already have the info in databases and it shouldn’t take this long. Any ideas?

So I will start bct in March 2010. I’ve had someone from the secret serviece/fbi come interview me and he is interviewing my friends this week. What else do they do for a background check? Do they follow you around or do they go to your house? I have to have a background check because of my MOS 35M and I have to go through a Top Secret Clearance. Thanks if you replied.
